you can never go wrong with 2 photographers in a darkroom, even all you produce is an empty bottle of wine!
what a great neighbor to have - someone who you can share darkroom time with, and writes an interesting blog!

As with any community we have our share of a-holes as well. I commend your efforts to promote film photography and share "all" the experiences. I would be willing to bet your anon buddy has never posted a pic here or anywhere else for that matter. If they have I would love to be directed to it so I could bask in their brilliance.

I don't play the piano, I don't have a beard and I listen to AC/DC in the darkroom. I have no hope as a photographer.
Breathe,
I think you misunderstand the tone of my writing, I was only saying (calmly) my thoughts, and any practiced photographer (in my opinion) should be able to expose any image properly. And maybe sometimes one comes out with poor contrast or something, but not multiple photos ...
Anyway that's my opinion, everyone messes up, it happens, just wish it was more "successful"
Precisely why I closed my PM's here, though the personal intrusion from a prolifically well known member, who simply always has to be right and have the last word, was by any reckoning far less egregious. In my estimation, with few exceptions, nothing can be said privately that cannot also be posted in full view. While I have referred to this incident obliquely and often here on LFPF, I was the recipient of a much more outrageous attack earlier in the millennium when I first joined APUG. It was unknown to me at that time that this wretch, presumably a failed painter and hacker, had been trolling photography forums exclaiming that photography could not, nor ever be, art, and that no one practicing such a banal form could ever consider themselves to be an artist. The attacks came annonymously directly to my personal email. The threatening, profanity laced, style so disturbed me that I closed my account, and only reopened under a different name in 2005, eventually accepting that one has to either stand up to these internet–come–lately bullies or ignore them. Not contributing where I personally felt I could make a difference seemed simply to be a cowardly response. And don't even get me started on YouTube comments. Unfortunately for the (few) appreciative, I'll never post another video allowing them. No good deed ever goes unpunished.
It's amazing the lengths these people will go to make the world miserable while hiding behind the cloak of free speech.
Sounds like a fun afternoon. Reminds me of the time when I was a teenager, I managed to get a girl I had a crush on to stay late after school and come with me into the school darkroom for a printing session. Once there, I.... printed a bunch of negs. I wasn't the sharpest tool in the shed, I guess.
